Speaker Johnson Visits The Border, Says Kamala Harris Is To Blame For Illegal Immigration Crisis

Speaker Johnson and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) Visit The Border, Says Kamala Harris Is To Blame For Illegal Immigration Crisis | House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) visited the U.S. southern border on Thursday, calling out President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris over their handling of illegal immigration.

In a visit to the San Ysidro Port of Entry in San Diego alongside Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), Johnson specifically went after the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and called for Congress to pass new legislation to safeguard elections from non-citizen voting. San Diego has been a hot spot for unlawful crossings in recent months, with tens of thousands of migrants crossing into California.

“This has become in many ways the epicenter of the Biden-Harris border catastrophe, and now we’re very concerned in Congress that this illegal immigrant invasion is threatening even the integrity of our elections,” Johnson said.

He added that the “catastrophe” at the border had been “engineered” by the Biden-Harris administration. He said, “Border czar and San Francisco radical Kamala Harris bears the responsibility for this disaster.”

“And now we’ve all seen on our television screens, there’s yet another caravan of immigrants heading to the border to get in here. And of course they want to come in before the election because they believe there may be a good chance that President Trump wins that election. I certainly believe that and this won’t be tolerated any longer,” Johnson said.

The House speaker also discussed the SAVE Act, legislation that would require individuals to show proof of citizenship to register to vote in elections for federal office.

“Kamala Harris and 198 House Democrats want to allow illegal aliens to decide American elections, and right now every non-citizen can do that, and there’s no real impediment except the honor system,” he said. “We don’t believe that is going to work.”

While the GOP-controlled House passed the SAVE Act earlier this month, the Democrat-controlled Senate has not taken it up. The White House also voiced opposition to the legislation.

Johnson was joined by National Border Patrol Council Executive Vice President John Anfinsen, who said that the situation at the border was not improving.
